Molson - it's just the name on the label, but there's a lot behind it. With a determination to make the world a better place, John Molson opened North America's first brewery in 1786 - Molson Brewery. Brewed with Canadian water, prairie barley and no preservatives, this lager is as clean and fresh as the land it comes from. Molson Canadian earns its name with an iconic taste made from authentic Canadian ingredients.
